This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Big Data Benchmarking, WBDB 2015, held in Toronto, ON, Canada, in June 2015 and the 7th International Workshop, WBDB 2015, held in New Delhi, India, in December 2015.

Data by itself has no meaning, it is what you do with it that counts. In this course, you'll fast track to Hadoop & Big Data with the Cloudera QuickStart VM and then you'll learn how to set up a Hadoop cluster with Cloudera CDH.
